Pro Tech OTS Auto Runt 5 Crimson Tiger Camo Anodized Handle Black DLC Magnacut Reverse Tanto Blade AUPTR5403-CTC

The Pro-Tech OTS Auto Runt 5 Crimson Tiger Camo Anodized Handle Black DLC Magnacut Reverse Tanto Blade is a compact powerhouse that redefines what a pocket-sized automatic knife can deliver. As the latest evolution of Pro-Tech’s iconic Runt series, the Runt 5 brings the brand’s signature fast, smooth deployment into a sub-two-inch blade design that’s both practical and legal in restrictive states like California. Its blend of precision engineering, premium materials, and ergonomic design makes it an ideal choice for everyday carry and utility tasks.

The blade measures 1.96 inches in length and features a reverse tanto profile crafted from CPM MagnaCut steel with a black DLC finish. This combination of steel and coating ensures excellent corrosion resistance, edge retention, and durability, even under repeated use. The flat grind provides clean, efficient cuts, while the reverse tanto tip allows for precise piercing and controlled slicing. Its plain edge maximizes versatility, making it an exceptional tool for everyday tasks that require speed and precision.

Deployment is instant and reliable thanks to the black lip pearl push-button opener. With a simple press, the blade springs out with Pro-Tech’s trademark snappy, smooth action. The button lock ensures solid lock-up during use, giving you confidence in the knife’s stability and safety. The pivot employs washers for smooth rotation, further enhancing the effortless opening and closing experience.

The handle is crafted from crimson tiger camo (red, white, and black) anodized aluminum with black hardware, giving it both a striking aesthetic and durable, lightweight strength. Texturing at the back of the handle near the blade base ensures a secure grip and precise control during cutting. At just 3.25 inches, the handle fits comfortably in most hands despite the knife’s compact size. A tip-up pocket clip with flush screws provides deep, right-side carry, and a lanyard hole adds extra versatility for secure attachment to gear.

Weighing only 2.09 ounces, the Runt 5 is highly portable without sacrificing control or performance. Every detail, from its ergonomic handle to its expertly engineered blade and deployment system, reflects Pro-Tech’s dedication to delivering high-performance, American-made automatic knives. Whether you’re carrying it as an everyday tool or adding it to a collection, the Runt 5 is compact, precise, and uncompromising.
